Corrections policy

How to report an error

Email editor@bestbrokersforinvesting.com with the page URL, the specific figure or claim, and a link to the primary source that contradicts it. Reports that include a primary source are actioned fastest, because they can be verified immediately.

What we commit to

• Acknowledge within two business days of receiving a report
• Correct a verified factual error within five business days of confirming it
• Correct at source. Data corrections are made in the broker database, so the fix propagates to every ranking, review, comparison and table at once. A figure cannot be right on one page and wrong on another
• Update the verification date only when the source is re-read. We do not refresh a date to make a page look current
• Re-score where the correction warrants it, and say so on the affected pages rather than recalculating silently

How different kinds of correction are handled

Factual errors

A wrong fee, entity, date or availability. Corrected at source and noted. If the error changed a score or a ranking position, that is stated explicitly on the affected pages.

Changes at the provider

A broker changing its own fees is not an error on our part, but it does make our page wrong. We re-read the full schedule and update the verification date. Any firm is re-read within five business days of a credible report that its terms have changed.

Disputed judgments

A sub-score is a judgment, not a fact, and reasonable people can disagree about one. We will not change a score because a firm objects to it. We will change it if you show us that the evidence behind it was misread — and we publish the rationale for every sub-score precisely so that argument can be had on the evidence rather than on volume.

Requests to remove accurate information

We do not remove accurate, sourced information — including enforcement matters — at the request of the firm concerned. We will correct any inaccuracy in how a matter is described, and we will add material context where it is sourced.

Scheduled re-verification

• The full dataset is re-read end to end at least quarterly
• Entity records are re-checked against FINRA at every full re-verification
• Any individual firm is re-read within five business days of a credible change report

Correction log

A public log of material corrections will be maintained on this page. It is currently empty: this site has not been live long enough to have issued one. An empty log after a sustained period of publication would be a warning sign rather than a good one — every publisher that genuinely checks its own work finds errors eventually.
